Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., the drug and chemical company based in Nutley, N.J., began laying off one-fifth of its workers in the United States this week as part of deep cost-cutting globally by its Swiss parent.

Hoffmann-La Roche will lay off 1,300 of its 6,500 employees in the United States in the next two years. This week's layoff announcements are limited to the headquarters, where the cuts involve less than 1,000 of 5,300 employees.
